Indica strains can help you relax at night and get to sleep. These are more like a body high due to their effects on your entire body, not just your head. Indicas are best used in the evening when you want to wind down and go to bed.
Sativa is a great choice to experience the day. Its energetic, uplifting qualities can help you breeze through challenges and make you feel like you can take on the world. Ideal during times of focus, productivity, or motivation.
Hybrid strains often display the best characteristics of both Sativa and Indica. Some have been bred specifically for their relaxing effects, while others can have both uplifting and sleepy effects.
